system help needed

o.k i am trying to build a good system for my 1991 Chevrolet caprice. i am really new at this still so if you guys could dump this down for me it would be much appreciated. so far i have two options so far

option #1-recommend by lbjshaq2345

Amp

Crunch PZi 250.2
1000W 1 / 2-Channel A/B Class Amplifier
http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=16690

subs

2 Pioneer TS-W307D4
12" 1200W Dual 4-Ohm Subwoofer
http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=17387

and i am going to add a Capacitor but know know which one yet

also going to build fiber glass boxes

Total cost around $375


Option #2-my freind is selling his system out of his Tahoe-200 bucks

amp
280 watt ken wood amp

subs
2 12 inch sony xplod subs in box

my question is which will hit harder for my car. i am leaning towards option #1 alot.
the only reason that i am considering option #2 is because i have heard the system in his truck and it hits pretty hard.

option one sounds preety decent


and for the record, i hate explods....

i have heard that xplods suck, what would you recomend

rockford fostgate, kenwoods, jbls, kickers for entry level


RE and Fi and JL audios are really really good but pricey

option one.

You usually dont want to buy other peoples problems.

yeah its a good system i helped hook it up but i am going to buy new

im an alpine guy myself... love all of their stuff and swear by it

i am thinking about going with the pioneer subs and the crunch amp becuase it is in the right price range. i just hope that it will be enough i want to be able to feel it.

also do you guys think that they would out preform xplods

deffinately... i think sony just designed it more boom for the buck... but i know some1 that has 2 12 xplods in their trunk and it doesn't really hard compared to a single higher quality sub from JL, kenwood, RF's, etc.

i have 2 cvxs 250 for the pair

U should get a JL 12w3v3. Not too expensive and a quality sub.

Ya that site is selling them cheap right now. Easily the most bang for ur buck JL sub. For only $32 more than the 12" Type R, it's not even a question of what to get. Alpine's speakers/subs aren't bad, but aren't great either.

If ur only buying one sub, I highly suggest saving a little more for a 12w6. I can't imagine having 2 12w6s or 1 12w7. Still though can't go wrong with the w3.

well i am not looking to spend over 400 dollars

well if your on a budget.. try Elemental designs, they're pretty cheap and never heard any complaints from people who got them.. yet?

Well u get what u pay for in car audio, that's for sure. Go for the JL W3 then for sure. That's going at such a good price right now...

well i am trying to build this whole car on a budget.

for good deals on car audio you can go to www.techronics.com some stuff is cheap as hell while other stuff is expensive.

just throwing that out there

well i am pretty sure i am going to go with pioneer subs

They're good **** Mine finally gave out on me the other day after like 6-7 months of seeing ~100w over their max rated power. Give them around their RMS and they are amazing subs for the money. Better than anything you'll find from any other BestBuy brands in the price range.

yeah i am going to get those it seems for the money they can't be beat
